Looks good.
BTW- You don't need that servo saver on there- there is already a better one built in to the car.

Thanks guys! Yeah I love the yellow rims too, I'll post the pics of the body once I'm done painting, or butchering it, my first paint job so we'll see what you all think.

I paid with a blinking credit card!! I hate to say it, but I bet my life the delays are here at the greek end. The infrastructure in this country sucks like a $2 hooker. The f***ing post doesn't arrive in the morning until 10 o clock (on a good day), after everyone's gone to work. Man, this country sucks in so many ways (wanna hear how much an XRay XB8 costs here?!?!?! It's about $900 and people are paying it!). Makes me wonder I ever came, then I look at my greek girlfriend. Her and the weather, but that's it.

LOL!!! Yeah the post here comes at like 1 in the afternoon which makes very little sense, almost have to take the whole day off if you are waiting for a package. Luckily for me my LHS had the buggy in stock w/ the motor as well, all they had to do was put it together for me. I haven't had the pleasure of odering anything from an online HS but from the sounds of most people on the board it's a real hassle. Things could be worse...you could have found a girlfriend that lived in Siberia.

Good engine choice :P . Foxy, You should order from Hong Kong, you cant beat the price and speed of their international shipping.
www.rc-mart.com or www.rc-mushroom.com , good prices too.

Thanks for the compliments all! Yeah we do things twice as different up here I guess??? It seems to be working fine and the LHS guy said better safe than sorry...I'm gonna have a buddy take em off on race day, get me set up proper. Anyways, I finally finished the body...it's my first attempt so be nice...LOL. I like it, although I am already drooling at the chance to paint another next weekend.
Let me know what you all think.

Not really better though on the dual servo savers. Becase what its going to do is slow down your servos transit times- take away from its torque and not turn lock to lock fully.

Wanna hear something else, slightly off-topic? I was paying 2000 quid a year for Fire and Theft on a Mk2 Golf GTi when I was 23. You know how much I pay here? 200 quid every 6 months (but then again, I am getting paid FOUR TIMES LESS than I was in the UK for the same job). This country does have it's advantages though I guess, but I miss the solid infrastructure of the UK, and the roads....oh, I miss the roads...

Its funny, two (English) people have asked me in the last few days (as visitors to Greece), totally independently of one another, how I feel about living in a third world country! lol! It's not quite that bad, but it's easy to see why people think it!
